I've enable the "Advertise Opensearch" feature on OpenWetware. <br><br>OpenSearch is a feature that MediaWikis provides that allows any site complying with a search spec called "OpenSearch", pioneered by Amazon's A9 Search engine, to "snap in" as your default or a configurable search engine. <br>
<br>To see the feature (or use it), your browser looks in the header of HTML pages generated by a website. For Firefox, this is how to enable it.<br><br>I. Locate the browser search bar at the top right of your browser window.<br>
2. Click on the down-arrow just to the right of the current registered search engine. You'll notice it by the small icon.<br>3. A drop-down list will appear. You should see OpenWetware as one of the options.<br>4. Select it as your current search engine.<br>
5. All search in that box, no matter where you are, will be done using OpenWetWare's search box.<br>6. Results will appear as a new OpenWetWare page. <br><br>You can also customize the list by moving OpenWetWare up to the top of the list. This will display it first when you go to select a new search engine.<br>
<br>This has nothing to do with the Local Search feature for OWW I'm working on at the moment. But, it may. More on that when I can say something intelligent about it!<br><br>Meanwhile, searching within OWW becomes a little bit more flexible. <br>
<br>Thanks.<br><br>B.<br><br>
